fear of molesting before

I have a fear that I may of molested my cousin when she would tickle me (I got turned on and would masturbate after). I am really scared I was 13-15 don't know the exact age and I am so frightened that I touched her, I have a  memory too but can't pin point if it is real or not. it is killing me cuz I think if it is real would I be a child molester cuz I was a teen and she was only a small child? I have all these thoughts like having to register as a sex offender. What is normal behavior and deviant criminal behavior? I don't see my doc till Wed :( and I know I have to tell her. My medications are not working. I've gotten physically ill over this and literally it feels like I have something hard on my chest, I feel so sick.

Hello.

Your questions are too complex to be answered within this brief format. There's no such thing as "normal" or "deviant" behavior. Don't try to label yourself; this will only make things worse. This is definitely something you should explore with your therapist so you can figure out the best path for you. Best of luck. Dr. J
